Philanthropy Ohio and its members, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Education, hosted a series of regional conversations across the state where attendees shared their thoughts and perspective on the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and Ohio’s developing state plan.

Ohio’s small and mid-sized legacy cities—older industrial cities with populations greater than 20,000 situated in metropolitan areas with less than 1 million residents—are important contributors to Ohio’s economy and social fabric. Like Ohio’s larger legacy cities—Cincinnati and Cleveland—these cities faced decades of serious challenges stemming from population loss and the decline of large-scale manufacturing that were further compounded by the Great Recession. Learn more in this report about the Greater Ohio Policy Center’s findings on ongoing challenges in Ohio’s smaller legacy cities.

As part of Philanthropy Ohio’s commitment to improving education, our Education Advisory Committee, has developed a series of targeted education briefing papers aimed at helping the state’s early childhood, K-12 and higher education leaders, elected officials and other key stakeholders plot a clear direction for the future of education and improved student success. It is our hope that the Open Letter and briefing papers will help guide Ohio leaders as we develop the next state biennial budget and the Ohio plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
